Remains of Rome — a Chapbook

Chapbooks are a traditional art-form: small hand- or desktop-printed booklets bound, in this case, with saddle-stitch. I recently made 20 of these on two different papers: Ilford Galerie 200GSM matte 'Duo' paper and Moab Entrada Rag, 190GSM. I printed them on an Epson large-format printer on A4 sheets that fold to make an A5 'signature'. The binding thread is a 3-fold waxed linen thread No.40 made by Lille in France.

I've also made a PDF book of the same pages for wider distribution.

The subject suggested itself when I was scanning through my image catalog: I saw that I had a bunch of images from my 2018 visit to Rome that formed a small set. I've used only one of these before — a shot of the interior of the dome of the Pantheon. But the rest were taken around the same time, including the one non-Roman photo, of the Temple of Harmony at Agrigentum in Sicily.

Please download the PDF file (about 19MB) and view the images full-screen on your computer or tablet. A couple are in landscape mode — your PDF viewer will allow you to rotate them to see them right-way-up.
